Is it possible to get blocked by Luminate for submitting too many donations?

Will Luminate Online block an IP Address if there is an unusually high volume of donor activity from the same IP? We have a fundraising event approaching and we will be submitting multiple donations from the same IP address. What preparations should we make?

Note: For the reasons stated above, it is highly encouraged that you contact support before your fundraising event to whitelist the IP addresses that will be taking donations. The same goes for call centers that take donations over the phone.

You can determine that an IP address has been blocked by running a Transaction Detail report and include the Error Code column.

If you see the error code of "Declined due to Convio IP Block" or "Declined due to Luminate Online IP Block", this means that Luminate blocked the IP address. If the IP address shouldn't have been blocked, Contact Support and provide this article number.

If you see the error code of "Multiple attempts at using this credit card have resulted in errors. For security reasons, we cannot accept transactions using this credit card. Please contact us directly to process your transaction." This means the IP address or credit card was blocked on the BBMS side and you should contact Blackbaud Merchant Services support for this.
